Pop star Katy Perry has got her nose pierced for the second time after being left with a scar at the age of 13 when she punched a hole through her nostril herself.

The 29-year-old singer took some time out from her 'Prismatic World Tour' to have a stud punched through her nostril, reported Contactmusic.

The brunette beauty posted a video of the procedure on her Instagram, which sees her wince with pain as the needle is pushed through the right side of her nose.

The 'Roar' hitmaker's decided to have her nose pierced in the hope of covering up the scar she was left with at the age of 13 when she poked a hole in her nose herself with a safety pin and an ice cube.
